Sutures for Obstetric and Gynaecological Surgery
What obstetric and gynaecological closure asks of a suture material, and the range Dolphin Sutures manufactures.
What this field asks of a material
Obstetric and gynaecological closure works across tissues that differ sharply in density within one procedure — uterine wall, peritoneum, fascia, subcutaneous tissue and skin, and mucosa. Absorbable materials predominate because internal layers cannot be revisited for removal, and the range of tissue in a single case is the reason kits for this field often carry more than one material and more than one needle geometry.
What clinicians weigh
- Which tissue layer is being closed, since density varies substantially within one procedure
- Absorption profile against how long the layer needs support, as stated in the instructions for use
- Needle geometry, which is selected against the tissue rather than against the suture material

Nothing on this page is a recommendation for a procedure or a patient. The instructions for use supplied with each product is the controlled document for indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and any absorption or strength-retention data. Where this page and the instructions for use differ, the instructions for use govern.
